About Me

How can I be a logician before I am a human being! FAR the most important thing is to settle accounts with myself -Wittgenstein

An atypical Gen Z in her mid 20’s crisis, always asking for advice but never follows them.

She loves thinking about useless philosophical questions until her brain turns into a messy lot of spaghetti codes. (01001110101000… 404 not found)

She loves coming up with non-substantial 99% of the time imaginary problems to live up to the axiom that human existence is filled with self-Inflicted sufferings.

She loves punks, techno-anarchists, internet trolls, conspiracy theorists, rebels, rule-breakers, based comedians, onion browser users, radical minds, and all dissidents alike.

She loves people who can roast her 24/7 and vice versa ;), who dare to be rude, brutal, offensive, and provocative (yes so she gets to stop pretending to be nice).

She loves skiing and jumping in between the trees, swimming away from the shore into the abyss, diving deep into the infinite blue on one breath, hiking long distances on an empty stomach.

She loves numbers.. Her life is a huge excel sheet programmed with perfect mathematical models for the most mundane trivial decisions, yet intercepted by significant spontaneous irrational life-changing choices.

I am a Venn diagram of a lot of different identities. All kinds of discussions are welcome, from the validity of spiritual practices to metaphysics, from Ayn Randian objectivist morality to Plato’s world of forms, from FED insanity to meme stocks, oil price speculation? Libertarians' inability to empathize? God is dead? She can be a zen Buddhist monk as well as an adrenaline seeker, a science nerd as well as a bohemian hippie. Whatever suits you better.

PHILOSOPHY

You either waste your life in pursuit of an arbitrarily selected meaningless goal or waste your life searching for a meaningful goal to pursue.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am very stubborn, unwise and fearless, which has made me do some crazy things.

the most amazing I have done is to come to realize how I have lived a big part of my life based on mimetic desires or following those whom i deemed my models, and start to peel off the layers of my conditioning to reach the core of the onion.

Teach, Learn, Share

i will annoy you with some useless deep questions...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Opinions and stories.
Wild speculation about when bitcoin goes to one million, or 0..
How to be mindlessly yet fearlessly wandering about the world.
